i've just discovered my daughter is an indigo child?

Question

i believe i'm an indigo and crystal child. anyone out there have any feed back. are you an indigo? how do you deal with society today?

we got a reading from a friend the other night. i suspected it and it was confirmed.i googled indigo child and all the characteristics were right on

i was just curious and wanted some input from people who knew what i was talking about,that all.

Answer 1

Oh dear! I'm so excited now! I have a nephew who's an indigo child and his parents had to move to a bigger city, so that he would be able to attend schools with advanced programme. I suppose the first thing you should do is find out what her field of interest is and help her in that direction. As for society, it's not going to be easy - I can't say it will. People will probably view her as a weirdo or what's even worse they won't know what an indigo child is at all. Maybe it would be for the best if you took it step by step, and explained your relatives and friends what an indigo child really is. They will also need help adjusting, so don't be hard on them please :)

P.S. Just read the responses you got. I certainly hope and pray things turn out to be better in *real* society ~sigh~

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with the term "crystal child," but the term indigo child is sufficiently equated with "superior child" that you need to be cautious in deciding your own child is one, let alone that you are one yourself. The one thing this country does not tolerate is anyone thinking they are better than the rest.

There was a time when they would say "gifted" and have the same problem. Now there are some exceptions, but generally "gifted" just means above average, and nobody thinks it is very significant. Mostly they figure it's just the parents being pushy.

It may indeed be that you and your child are both indigo, but if so, you will need to learn to keep it quiet. Indigo children are known for their insight, even foresight, so they should know that concealing this "gift" will save them a lot of grief. Will also save you from ridicule should you be mistaken in your assessment.

Interesting since many times it is that the people really suffer from Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD, or are Bi-polar and having delusions of grandeur. They develop an attitude that doesn't necessarily apply to reality.

For the New Agers who came up with this term, they estimate that 97 percent of children under ten and 70 percent of those age 15 to 25 are "Indigo". So it's really not that rare by New Agers own admission. Scientists point out that the Indigo movement lacks verifiable evidence to support its claims, and because of this, it is considered pseudoscience. Though some of the authors of Indigo literature have degrees in psychology, Indigo Child is not a recognized term in the field of psychology. How interesting you just take some "reading" as fact...

Answer 4

To be honest there is no such thing as a indigo child, I think people have just discovered how special children are. Those people who are adults and display a different thought pattern, or higher degree of consciousness then others, is because of the laws they came into the world by that framed their intellect or what would become of them, what vibration of mind they would be polarized to. Such can be said to work from different areas of mind then others.

I don't care if people don't believe the above, but I refuse to call myself a indigo child, because its new age and all Children are special.

I'm sorry I know what you are talking about, I just believe that all children are special. I am "gifted" and have been on the bad end of a lot of situations because of how different I was, my difference agitated people and everyone thought I believed myself better than everyone, but I really didn't do anything and only wanted friends.

Answer 5

I have read the Indigio Children books and seen some documentaries on it. It can be a bit confusing, especially in my profession of psychology, many professionals want to label these children as ADHD or ADD, Bipolar, or whatever the diagnosis is of the month. Based on what you have shared it sounds like she sure fits the description of an Indigo Child. My 9 year old son is also one who has those abilities and characteristics. The whole concept of the Indigo Child is also highly grounded in the spiritual, not really the psychological. Its too bad the psychobabble was distracting. I think where the psychology comes in again is that these children are seen as "different." I prefer the word "special." Teachers or others working with your daughter may not be aware of the Indigo Child concept and may be quick to label them as other things. It is believed that the Indigos are here for a reason...a very special reason...to help us all move the world in a direction that is different than where we are headed today. This takes a great deal of "passion" and drive, natural intuitiveness, compassion for others and an "attitude" that comes of to some as adult-like. But with the job they need to accomplish here - those skills are a blessing, not a curse. At 4 it may be hard to see it as such. They want to be treated in a dignified way - as they come into this world less "veiled" than we did. They have a stronger connection with where they came from, so the talk of Jesus or Higher Beings is just normal chit chat for them - they are their friends. These children are very very bright. Again, the reason they may get seemingly annoyed by the way we talk to them as children. For them, as Indigos, their soul connection and development is more prevelent than their chronological age - so addressing them in that respectful way, no BS way is important. They can sense the lie a mile away. My son used to talk about being with me before here when we lived in that other house. He was no more than 2 years old. He talked about things that were beyond his years and could always sense things. He talked about angels being with him. He has a relatively strong personality, very intelligent, compassionate, and can be very self-centered, too. This may be the way they will need to get things done for them. If they were too compassionate, it would only keep them from moving things forward. It sounds like you know the answer. It may not be in the books. You know your daughter, her abilities, her specialness. Is there more for you to look for? Doesn't sound like it. She sounds wonderful and like she has a lot to teach people she comes in contact with.

Answer 6

Huh? I've heard something about EVERYBODY BORN AFTER 1970 being indigo children and all those born after 2000 being crystal children... Are you sure you're well documented?!? And besides, that's got something to do with general temper in the generations, and if I'm not mistaking... something about supernatural powers and some end-of-world-coming-soon $hit?!?

Answer 7

it seems like everyone these days thinks they're an indigo child. i doubt that you or your child are, sorry. it's just a fad, and a silly one at that

[edit] Characteristics
Carroll and Tober identify ten attributes that they believe describe Indigo children[1]:

They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others do not share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue; they often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and do not require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (non-conforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting it be known what they need.

Answer 8

Despite not believing much of the particulars of that idea, I am repeatedly told that I am, my wife is, and our daughter would fit the profile to a tee.

I went borderline autistic to everyone but my mother. To her I would repeat, verbatim, what I learned in school. My wife was studied at one of the universities near them for her intelligence. She just shut down and stopped participating.

My daughter sings her alphabet, counts, reads a few words, is physically active beyond her age, very intuitive and loving, at age 19 months (actually before that).

She has us. That makes all the difference. She chooses how long our work with her lasts. She works without being judged by us (her work is judged, not her, and never in terms of "good" or "bad", just according to the goal she is set or has set herself).

We never break her will. We do make clear OUR choices (such as not wanting to be next to her when she was learning to bite, so she stopped biting, though she got excited the other day while rough housing and bit, looked at her mother's face after her mother shouted in pain, said, "MOTHER?" and then hugged her saying, "HUG!"

Didn't repeat it. Who could ask for more from a learning, growing child? If I can help, I am familiar with the idea, and can help you according to THAT belief system, not my own ideas. Let me know if I can help.

Pretty good for a formally borderline autistic kid, huh? Must be the college education and years of teaching.
